Pragmatics
What do we actually mean, when we make an utterance and what are our intentions? What kind of actions can be carried out by linguistic utterances, which conditions must be fulfilled so that our utterances make sense? We will be dealing with questions like these in our seminar and we will apply theoretical concepts to English texts both in spoken and written form. The focus of our attention will be on functions of language (according to Bühler and Jakobson), speech act theory (according to Austin and Searle), indirect utterances and misunderstandings (presuppositions, implicatures according to Grice), and general aspects of (im-)politeness theory.

As this course is part of the module "Methodische Grundlagen", it will also contain certain general academic skills beyond the scope of this specific seminar, including basic and advanced search for literature, the OED, time management, and form of citation.

Literature:
A bibliography will be provided in the first session.

Comment:
Morphology is about the basic building blocks that words are composed of. Words can come in different inflectional forms (e.g. talk - talks - talking - talked) and be combined to new complex words (e.g. walkie-talkie, talkshow). This class introduces you to the linguistic terminology that is necessary to identify and analyse the internal structure of words. We will take a closer look at various types of word formation (e.g. compounding, suffixations) and inflectional morphology both from a synchronic and a diachronic perspective.
